The two suspects were taken into custody around 12:30 p.m. Oct. 26 on the city's north side, according to a press release. The BB guns and other evidence were recovered at the scene.

Police officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Burton police Lt. Mike Odette said previously it appears someone was shooting a BB
gun off a catwalk at passing vehicles on the highway.

The drivers went home and made a complaint with their local police
departments -- one in Davison Township and another in Oakland County,
Odette said.

There were no reports of injuries.

There is no indication the incident is related to a string of incidents
in which bullets have been fired at vehicles along I-96 and other roadways
in Oakland, Livingston, Shiawassee and Ingham counties, Odette said.

The two juveniles are being held that the Genesee County Regional Detention Center.
